Let me just say: I am so sorry. Dark Hook wasn't something I planned; it just kinda happened. Thought I would update since I'll be mia for a while because college. Hopefully you like this. Comments are appreciated! xoxo
Hook looks at Gideon with hooded eyes. "Aye, and what will that task be?"
Gideon smiles a ruthless smile. He's all too familiar with Hook's past self and his quest for vengeance. Even under his love for Emma, Hook still feels anger for her for turning him into the Dark One. Gideon wants to use that and expose it for his own gain. Having Hook turn on Emma will only make his mission of defeating the Savior that much easier.
"I need you, Captain, to break Emma Swan's heart. Think you can manage?"
"Aye," Hook looks up with a bored expression. "That shouldn't be a problem. She's taken so much from me already. She made me weak."
Gideon circles around Hook. "Now, don't forget that she also turned you into the thing you despise the most back in Camelot. I have a feeling you still feel some resentment towards her for that."
Hook's stare goes blank as if he's lost in memory of his days as the Dark One. And now here he is again as the Dark One. However, this time he doesn't feel angry at that fact he's what he despises the most. He feels almost free. Powerful. Hungry for revenge of those who have ever done him wrong. Starting with the woman who changed him into a coward: Emma.
Gideon gestures for Hook to go above deck. "It's up to you, Hook, to accomplish this for me. I'm counting on you. Bring me her broken heart."
"I bloody well intend to bring it to you. First, I have a visit to make to your dear father and mother." Hook pushes past Gideon, climbing the ladder onto the deck of his ship.
The sky turns dark and the sky breaks out into a downpour, thunder grumbling in the distance. Hook looks down at his hand to see he's the cause of the storm. He smiles ruthlessly as he walks down the dock back towards Storybrooke. After Emma told him to let her have time to herself, he'll respect that. For the time being. He intends to break her heart just like Gideon expects him to.
Emma sits curled up on her couch, nursing a mug of hot cocoa in her hands. Henry sits in the seat beside her, laughing at a scene in a movie they rented out. However, she has no idea what's happening in the movie. Her mind is too consumed with Hook's hurt and anger as she left him on the Jolly Roger. She only wants what's best for him. And if in a couple days he knows for sure he wants a life with her, so be it.
"Mom," Henry gets up to look out the window as a bolt of lightning strikes close to the window.
Emma realizes this storm as a result of magic. Whoever brewed it must have been angry. Her first guess is Gideon. Then again, it could also be Gold depending. Even Regina. Everyone in town seems to be on edge, more than usual. She gets up from the couch to watch as the rain pounds against the window, making it almost impossible to see outside. The lights inside begin to waver, and then the house goes dark.
"One second," Emma tells Henry, willing her magic to form a substance of lighting. She tries with no luck. Somethings playing with her magic, or the pregnancy is affecting it. It wouldn't be the first time. She's had a pretty good grip on her magic lately though. Slamming her hands against the couch, a spark goes through her. The house is temporarily brightened. But the light is gone almost as quickly as it was ignited.
"What do you think brought on the storm?" Henry asks her.
Without hesitance, she answers. "Dark magic."
"Gideon," Henry guesses. "His magic is this powerful?"
"Well it certainly wouldn't be surprising considering he's strong enough to kill the Savior and succeed." Emma slumps back against the couch.
They'll just have to sit in the dark until the anger of whoever's yielding the dark magic decides to cool down. Her mind wanders to Hook. Hopefully he was smart enough to find refuge at Grannys before the storm began. Though, he did used to sail in this weather back in the Enchanted Forest. He's probably loving this right now, reminding him of his rightful place as a pirate. Her pirate…
The electricity flickers back on. She glances out the window to see the sky clear and the Sun comes back out of hiding. Henry looks at her quizzically. He rushes upstairs and returns with his storybook.
"Hate to break it to you, kid, but I doubt that has the answer to what happened," she states simply.
"I think you're forgetting that I'm the author. A lot of what happens appears in the book that even I don't know about. Can't hurt to check," he begins flipping through the book furiously.
He opens to the page of Hook and her at the ball when they went back in time. Her throat catches as she resists the urge to run to him. She wants to make sure he's okay. Sending a text message isn't against the rules. Just because they're taking a break doesn't mean she can't make sure he survived the storm. She sends the text, staring at her phone, urging him with her mind to text her back. Knowing Hook, he probably left his phone somewhere or forgot to charge it. A vibration sounds in between the couch. Sighing, she digs is phone out from the couch.
She smiles down at the screensaver she helped him set. It's a picture of the two of them her mom took for their first date. At the time, Emma was embarrassed that her mom took the photo, but now she loves that she did.
"Mom," Henry's looking at her like he's been trying to get her attention for some time. "There was a knock at the door."
Emma gets up, removing the gun from the cupboard that she keeps it in. Better to be safe than sorry. Opening the door, she sees Hook leaning against the door frame, starting at his hook like he's bored. "Killian," she breathes.
"Hello, Emma."
His curt greeting and use of her name catches her off guard. There's something off about him, but she can't seem to put her finger on it. He brushes pass her, making his way into the kitchen. She follows after him, curious at his odd behavior. He's acting strange. She keeps her gun close to her. Gideon could be using his powers to mask himself as Hook. Hook hasn't acted this way since he was…
"No," she says under her breath in shock. "It wouldn't be possible."
"Tell me, love, why you so badly wanted to ruin my life?" he glares back at her. "Did you get yourself pregnant as a way to trap me?"
His words hurt her and she resists the urge to slap him. "How could you say that? I didn't plan for this to happen!"
"Calm down," he walks over to her, getting close to her face. He puts his hand against her face and she flinches slight. He's not acting like her Killian. "I just want the truth, Swan. For once, why don't you enlighten me."
Emma steps away from him, breaking their touch. "Don't talk to me like that!"
Henry comes walking into the kitchen. "I heard yelling. Is everything okay?" He gives Hook a confused look.
"Aye, mate. Your mother and I are just having a conversation."
Emma walks over to Henry, putting her hands on his shoulder. "I think you should go check on Regina. Maybe stay the night with her tonight?"
He nods his head, glancing back over at Hook. "Let me know if you need anything."
She assures him that she'll be alright as she watches him ascend the stairs to grab his things to go to Regina's. They stand in silence until Henry gives Emma a quick kiss on the cheek, waving bye to Hook. The door slams, interrupting their silence.
"Why are you here, Hook?"
Hook leans against the counter. "So we're back to Hook? No Killian? I'm so used to you yelling Hook in bed; I guess I shouldn't be surprised who it was you always wanted. The pirate, not the gentleman."
Her cheeks flush red at his comment. "I'm going to ask you again: what do you want?"
Walking back over to her, he leans into her until her back is pressed against the counter. He reaches down between them, grabbing the gun that's tucked in her jeans. He holds it in his hand. "No need for this, Swan."
She's growing angrier as he continues to invade her space, still not answering her question. "Please…"
"I want to hurt you," he puts his hand against her cheek. "I want to break you until you're weak and worthless and defeated."
"You're not Killian," she pushes roughly against his chest, grabbing the gun again. She points it to his chest as he holds his hands up. "Who the hell are you!"
He laughs. "It's still me. Just a better version of me. Gideon did me a favor; he made me the Dark One again. Now I have all the power and control that I could ever need. I don't need anything else. Not love. Not you."
Her throat closes as she lets go of the tears threatening to burst from her. Tears roll down her face furiously as the gun drops to the ground. Then her hands begin to shake again, but this time there are no visions accompanied with it. Just the heartbreak she feels of her true love telling her he doesn't want her. Doesn't need her.
"Killian," she sobs. "This isn't you. I told you that the darkness isn't your happy ending before. I won't give up on you. Just like I didn't give up on you the last time. Nor did you give up on me."
"That's the thing, Swan," he steps up to her, brushing the tears from her face. "It's not like last time. Your love won't fix this because there's nothing to fix. Face it; the darkness has always been a part of me. Gideon showed me that."
Her hands start to settle down. "You're choosing the darkness over me? Get the hell out of my house! I don't want to see you ever again, Killian Jones! I'll never let you see my baby."
"Our baby," he sneers. "That little one is as much mine as it's yours. And I will not let it go its life without a father."
Anger bubbles within her as this man, this monster, stares back at her. Before she knows it, she raises her hands, blasting him back with her magic. He crashes into the table behind him, but picks his self right back up.
"I'll be back, Swan."
He poofs in a cloud of red and Emma falls to the ground, covering her face as she lets the tears spill down her face. Holding her stomach, she gets back up and grabs her jacket.
"He's not going to hurt me," she says to herself, slamming the door shut behind her. Driving to Gold's shop, she bursts through the front door. The sign says he's closed, but he owes her for what his son as done this time. Threatening to kill her is one thing, but turning her boyfriend into the thing he despises the most is a whole other thing. Gideon will be defeated, and she will be the one who will defeat her. She'll kill him herself. She'll pay the price for doing so.
